Lucky You ☘️ We’ll Handle the Meat.

St. Patrick’s Day week gets busy fast, and corned beef always goes quicker than you think. From March 13th–17th, we’re serving up our Corned Beef Specials, including sandwiches, full meals, family packs, and corned beef by the pound.

Whether you’re feeding the crew or just treating yourself, we’ve got you covered. Pre-order ahead of time to reserve your meat because once it’s gone… It’s gone.

EASTER’S ON THE TABLE.

Easter calls for something worth gathering around, and our slow-smoked bone-in hams are made for the center of the table available in limited quantities, and we will sell out.

Pre-orders open March 1st for our Easter hams at $90 and will remain available until sold out. Each ham is smoked low and slow and finished with a mustard molasses glaze layered with notes of orange, clove, and ginger tender, flavorful, and ready to serve.

Pre-orders are taken by phone only beginning March 1st. We’ll handle the ham so you can focus on gathering, celebrating, and enjoying the day.

You Celebrate, We Serve

Graduation parties and summer get-togethers have a way of getting busy fast. If you’d rather not spend the day refilling trays or answering “where’s the sauce?” our staffed buffet is the move. We bring the crew, set everything up, keep the line stocked, and make sure your guests are taken care of from start to finish. You focus on celebrating. We’ll handle the BBQ.

The bbq was excellent, and the service was warm and welcoming... I am confident that this one is among the best.

The combo had me happier than a pig in you-know-what. Nearby my partner-in-crime gnawed on his pork ribs and, between bites, exclaimed how juicy and succulent they were. I had to rip a rib out of his hands to try a bite before they were gone.

The best smokehouse in Salinas, no question!

Really the best for our wedding. Easy buffet style. Minimal cost and great quality food. Plus my now husband really wanted to see me eat some ribs in my wedding dress. Haha. Even as the bride I went back for seconds.
